My rescued poodle-schnauzer (we think) is going through this. Head tilt, cannot get up, cries when she tries to stand. From observing her I think the crying is more from disorientation than from pain. We aren't sure how old she is, but I know she is, as the vet said, old enough to collect social security. Sudden onset of symptoms, doesn't want to eat or drink much at all. No nystagmus, but she has cataracts and has had them for the last two years that we have had her. She also has hearing loss, also has always had that. We have just adapted our home to her needs. It seems like now her "sniffer" isn't working well. I've been doing research on this disorder, and she seems to fit the hallmarks. We are feeding and watering with a syringe, hoping to keep her hydrated. She still has good urinary out put, and when she needs to pee is when she attempts to stand and gets frustrated. I know it's good that she hasn't given up attempting to go out to pee. I am a paramedic, and have done the things I would do for a bedfast human; linens changed, positions changed, massage to help with soreness. Hydration, food as tolerated... I am looking for any other advice to help my Sophie. We love her ridiculously, even though we have only had her for two years. I knew when I rescued her that she would be with us for a relatively short time, but we have tried to care for her needs as best we could. Would ginger tea help with the nausea? She's breathing normally for the most part, heart rate steady, no tenting of the skin that would lead me to suspect severe dehydration. She does "shiver" at times, cries when she attempts to get up (but truly, it doesn't sound like her "mom, this hurts" cry), and isn't interested in much other than being loved on when we are down on the floor with her. Euthanasia is a LAST resort. With a human patient I can ask what hurts, or feels bad, and I know how to help. I am completely at a loss. Any advice is appreciated. Thank you in advance!

My 8-year-old boxer developed these symptoms on Thursday, took anti-nausea meds and we took her home to hand water and wait-and-see. On Friday she had fluid draining from her ear (vet had checked for infections and seen none). She seemed to brighten over the weekend, still staggering, but going outside to pee. On Monday I took her back to the vet because she was still not drinking unaided and to check the ear. The vet kept her in to flush out and start anti-biotics for her ear, and to give her 24-hours of intravenous fluids. She passed away on Monday evening, apparently after a seizure. 2nd guessing whether I missed something. She had her annual exam and vaccinations a week prior to this and was taking other meds for a leaky bladder and swollen gums. So sad right now.

My 13 year old german shepard mix has exhibited most of the symptoms you describe for vestibular problems but the episodes have been very short, lasting about 5 minutes or less, and I have only observed about four total episodes during the past year. During the episodes, she seems very disoriented and seems to turn or fall in one direction when she tries to stand up or walk. I usually just make her lie on the ground so she doesn't move around until the episode passes. After a few minutes, she is totally normal again and it may be two or three months until the next episode. She is in overall excellent health otherwise although she is showing signs of arthritis. Does this sound like old dog disease?

Our 13 yr old pit bull is experiencing this disease now, symptoms started on Monday 8/12, we brought him into Emergency Vet office. He got IV fluids, anti nausea and predinose and the doc told us we would see improvement within a few days. It's now Wed, and he is not any better. I am really worried. All the info I read says, it will just go away. I am doubtful. But I do tend to worry more than others. It is so hard to see your animal out of control. Any and all info is appreciated. Anxious Atlas

My dog has had 3 episodes in the past 4 weeks. Head tilt, nystagmus, unsteady gate. Her symptoms are lasting less then 24 hours though. The vet said everythong points to vestibular disease except the frequency. Between episodes she is a perfectly normal 13 year old. She is still quite active with minimal arthritis. Has anyone ever seen this kindof frequency before? He did say it may be a tumor but didn't seem to be presenting that way. Also he did not do blood work, should I get some done? If so what? Please help, I am feeling very helpless right now.

My thirteen year old Shih Tzu is just recovering from vestibular syndrome. He's drinking but hasn't eaten if four days. I've tried hand feeding him but he's not interested. He does go to his bowl so I know he's hungry. His eyes have stopped twitching and his stance and gait are improving. How long can he go without eating?

My 15 year old Cocker Spaniel developed Vestibular Disease. I came home from work one weekend and my boyfriend was in the yard with her. When I went to check on her, her head was tilted to the left, she tried to stand but would fall. I thought for sure that she had a stroke. I was devastated watching my baby struggle to walk. I took her to the vet the next day, by then she was able to stand and walk a few steps with out falling. Today is the 6th day, she is walking almost normal, shes goes up steps but is afraid to go down them and she is still experiencing the head tilt. She eats and drinks normally. She didnt have any problem eating or drinking on the 1st day it happened. In the process of the doctor diagnosing her, we found out that she might have Cushing's Disease and the dr is running blood work to confirm. I just wanted to share my story because when I first saw Sparkie in her condition, I was very upset. Hopefully, this puts some parents at ease. If your dog is experiencing Vestibular Disease they can still live a normal functional life =)

My dog was a german shepherd/border collie. I got her when she was 8 weeks old. She lived until she was 17 1/2 years old. I first experienced this was she was 12 yrs. old. My Vet said she had a TIA, which is similar to a mini stroke. He gave her a shot consisting of corticosteroid, thiamine and B-6. By the next day she was fine. I went on-line constantly to get more info about TIA's. It was probably 1 1/2 years later, when I stumbled across the "old dog syndrome". There was very little info available about this syndrome at that time.

My wife and I have a 13 year old Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever that we have had since shortly after we got together. About a month ago he had an episode of vestibular disease, the symptoms were as outlined above. Our vet treated with prednisone and Dramamine. But he had already showed signs of recovery within about 30 minutes of the episode. By late that night he was fine. Well, the other night he was laying next to us on the floor and started crying. I got him up and sure enough he was having another episode. It only lasted about 30 minutes and later that night he was fine again. I took him to the vet and she recommended blood work and x-rays. This will likely run $500 plus. At this point, I am inclined to wait and see if he continues to have them. My questions are: Does the fact that he has had more than one of these episodes indicate anything? and secondly, am I making the right call to wait a bit longer? Could it be that he will just keep having them, recover quickly, and be fine? It's obviously concerning not knowing what is causing this.

My 13 year old lab-shepherd mix recently had this. It is amazing to me that we had never heard of it, given how horrifying an experience it is to watch you pet and think they're dying. At times, Reese looked possessed: upside down, her back arched, head upside down, legs flailing in the air. OMG it is so heart wrenching. That was a setback around day five. The original attack was the head tilt, eye movement, stumbling, circling, whining, and she was so panicked, as were we. Thankfully, we learned she wasn't dying and had something curable. whew! It's a long road, though. It takes a tag team of at least two because you really can't be out of reach in case she tries to stand up and walk (she will fall) - and that's around the clock. If you're lone with her, you can't go take a shower or be in another room. I was awakened by her panting a couple times each night and got up to give her water. She would only eat baby food from a spoon around day two. it was a week before she was able to reach around to clean herself and took her first normally beloved biscuit - her first hard food, fed by hand in small pieces. It's so nice to see her do ordinary things like lick her feet. We have stairs coming in and out of the house, and that is a problem, as she must be carried into the yard to relieve herself and take a little walk (using a sling, of course, but gradually just needed spotting). Anyway, carrying her can send her back into a spin, as can repositioning her if she lands half in/out of her bed. We learned to give her fair warning, verbally and tactilely before moving her. We learned she'd take almond butter, masticated baguette, organic broth, soft ginger cookies (good for nausea)... we just kept trying everything. I also had a bowl of water with a slice of fresh ginger and a couple of mint leaves in it. both good for nausea. I'd add a syringe-full to her water and she liked it fine. I also sprayed chamomile mixed with distilled water around her beds for calmness. just breathing the steam from chamomile tea can be calming. And she would eagerly take the Bach Rescue Remedy in pastille form (kinda like a gummi bear), which is for anxiety. Since she is on antibiotics for ear infection, I got her to take a little coconut yogurt, though I don't know that dogs stomachs need the same bacterial help that humans do. Still, it was more food she would eat. I'd say it will be around two weeks before we'll be able to leave her alone in the house again. I really feel like starting a support group or awareness campaign about this disease. reading all these posts, it is such a scary thing for all involved and it seems none of us had a clue this could happen to our pets. Good luck to all of you!

I took my 11 year old Maltese/Dashund mix, Ralphie to the emergency vet on Sunday night & they diagnosed with nystamus. I've been giving him anti-nausea medication (they gave him a shot for nausea & iv fluids) but 3 days later, he has started to vomit again & hasn't eaten in 4 days...we have limited funds but make too much to qualify for a grant. Is there anything you can recommend? I want to stop the meds but haven't yet. I'm just so worried about him. It's my hubby & I & our two four legged children. I helped Ralphie's mother birth him. After reading your article, I have more hope. Thank you for writing it.

I am so glad I found this forum/blog. We too are going through this - our 13 yr old Malamute presented with severe symptoms out of nowhere 72 hours ago. She seemed to get worse over the next 12 hours. 24 hours later the nystagmus stopped so i guess that's the progress you want to see as a sign that she might recover. We are now at 72 hours and she still can't stand, even refuses to try but is eating and drinking fine when hand fed. It is beyond heartbreaking to see her in so much distress- any forced movement sees her flailing around as she doesn't know which way is up. I can only assume any movement causes such a head spin. We are naturally starting to question our wisdom of keeping her going but reading this site gives me hope and the will to carry on. I spend every minute by her side and it's so exhausting. I am sure she is not in pain but must be so stressed out.

5 days ago, the 8 yrs old pomeranian suddenly tilt her head to the left and panting heavily. Bought her to the vet, but was not told that it might be a vestibular disease. However she does have a mild ear infection on the left ear. What bother me is the X ray result shown her neck bone had curve shape.
Can someone tell me is it normal?
Also my dog tends to pant more anxiously at night only, usually after she wake up from her sleep.
Need some advise please. Thanks
Btw she only treated with antibiotics and ear drop for ear infection.

We are having our second episode of this in our now 18.5 year old poodle/spitz mix...Gritz, the Mighty Boo Bear. Last time - 3 years ago - it took a very determined vet and 12 days to start to recover. This time, neither our trusted and tenacious vet, nor we are convinced there will be recovery. We are giving it some time - but not as much as 3 years ago. He has been a valiant little warrior - and a delight for all these years. We hope our 21yr marriage will survive not having him as part of it. Sad but ready.

This also happened to my 14 year old American Eskimo last month. She used to have seizures but had not had one in over 5 years and this was definetly different. I took her to the vet the follwoing morning because I thought she had a stroke. My vet said she thought she did too but to take a wait and see approach without alot of tests considering her age. I started doing research on the internet and came across idiopathic vestibular disease. She had another episode last week which was worse than the first. She was acting like herself when all of a sudden she vomited, all four of her legs collapsed and she rolled over 7 times. After about 10 minutes she was much better. She now walks with a slight head tilt and sometimes falls when she's walking but that is improving. One thing I want to mention to anyone that has a dog dealing with this is to get baby gates to block stairways. That way you'll have peace of mind knowing they won't get hurt falling down the stairs if you aren't home.

My nearly 13 year old American Pitbull terrier recently had surgery to address Laryngeal paralysis - prior to this surgery he was showing minimal signs of weakness in his back end - and increased sensitivity to the "spot" on his neck that causes most dogs to crescent themselves or involuntarily move their back leg as if to scratch. Other than that - none of the signs of vestibular disease were present. Post surgery - he was treated with Cerenia to avoid nasueousnes which could cause him to aspirate - and there was evidence of a slight lean to the right. on day 11 (post op) the lean became severe - he is leaning all his weight to the right, tilting his head to the right - but there is no sign of the eye movement noted in all the descriptions ive read about the condition. My vet determined that he likely has either the central or idiopathic vestibular disease - we put him back on the cerenia and predensone to treat any potential immflamation that may be in the brain. He has been on these meds for 2 days now and i am not seeing any improvement. the thought is that if this condition was present pre-surgery - that the anesthesia could have exacerbated it - ear infection was ruled out. Based on my description - what would you recommend ? He is eating well, drinking is difficult but we are managing to assist him by bringing his water dish to him - but walking is becoming increasingly difficult as he seems unable to stay on his feet for very long- he is putting all his weight on the right side. He has a harness and we are helping him get around by supporting him - and i am going to purchase a "sling support" as well - I do not want to give up on him and reading your notes about how this disease can correct itself has given me hope - but i am unsure if the meds he is on will actually help him recover. there is always the possibility of a tumor - but at this time (after a very expensive surgery) the $2000 MRI is just not in budget - especially if it would only tell me that the end is eminent. I want to give this as much time as is reasonable given his current quality of life. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

my four year old dog started with the head tilt. the vet found nothing wrong treated with antiobodics and she had gotten better. The head tilt was gone and she was back to herself. I came home from work on friday and she is now blind in both eyes. we see a neuroligist today and very afraid. I was told about vestibular but she is young. I guess i am hoping for answers. I tried to tell my vet I think something is wrong. Her ears were always clean but was told ear infection, or vestibuler, I read on that and usually happens in older dogs. On her check up I told vet her pupils looked big but was told her eys were fine. two days later she was blind.

Thank you for this article. Our dog started showing symptoms this morning and I freaked right out; he's a geriatric dog with arthritis, recently started on cuprofen. I thought that he was either having a reaction to the new drug or a stroke. I called our vet and she let us come over for a walk in. She diagnosed vestibular syndrome within three minutes (she pulled down her pathology book and read through the information with me, and I was finally able to relax when I saw "often reported as stroke by owners" and that it usually resolves without treatment within 72 hours ). I went home feeling worlds better.

Dr. Cox,
Popper was 10 years old when she experienced a seizure just after Christmas of 2012. Since it was the holiday break from school, two of our daughters were able to sit with her, petting and comforting her. She recovered (eyes stopped moving rapidly side to side, balance improved, appetite returned, head tilt went away) to resume normal functions though she still has a loss of balance in her hind legs, circles often, and lost her bark. She had a minor episode a few months later, but now nearly 1 year later she is still full of a positive spirit and life. I've noticed that taking her to the park to run on grass vs the asphalt jungle of Tucson, AZ is great for her to exercise without experiencing the jarring effects of a hard surface. The jaunts in the park are very therapeutic for her as she runs past physical exhaustion and returns home with a big smile on her face to a very good night of rest.
Thank you for the very informative article.

Our 6 yr old golden was diagnosed with vestibular disease. I thought for sure it was a stroke or a snakebite. Our vet was spot on but precautious.Thank goodness for the web. I was able to get information that kept us going. After 1 week of antibiotics and anti nausea medication he showed major tail wagging. I thought for sure we would have to put him down. Sharing is the key. Also YouTube videos

Our 6 year old Golden started with these symptoms a couple of weeks ago. He was given antibiotics and since then his nystagmus has stopped, the slackness in his jaw has gone, he's smiling again and he's now back to his usual boisterous self. However, he's still got a lazy left eye and his head is still tilted. He goes back for his fourth visit to the vet tomorrow, but they're now recommending an MRI because he's still tilted. He's insured, so this isn't a problem at all but it's now got me worried in case it's something more serious, just after I'd calmed down a bit because he seemed to be responding so well to the treatment. Can anyone offer reassurance?

Thank you so much for this information. My Chesapeake Bay Retriever is right in the middle of week two of this problem. For a while, I, too, thought she was tired of her 16 years and ready to call it quits, but she is progressing slowly. Scary presentation but it gets better and we are so lucky to still have her.

I have a 16yr old papillon dog, otherwise healthy but just getting old she is now going blind with cataracts. I had her teeth cleaned 3 months ago in the past week I put her out for a wee in the morning and saw her take a couple of steps very wobbly and fall over sideways...this was sooo scary...this was last friday...now she is like she is drunk, wont eat or drink having to syringe food and water into her now, she is weak..standing with head down also going in circles. I am thinking vestibular maybe eyes are not twitching though...she cannot concentrate and is in a daze it is heartbreaking to watch has no appetite now...absolutely heartbreaking...all bloods were normal kidneys good and liver and no diabetes...looks like she has had a stroke.

BigDog is a kind, gentle, 13 year old rescue. He has been having significant arthritis issues and some imbalance. He has been going through his normal fall bout of allergies, only it seems worse this year. For the last 24 hours, it's like his hind end has "caved" in. Unable to walk for more than a couple of steps, and can't support himself in the rear. No bowel or urinary issues as far as incontinence. No rapid eye movement. He's on metacam and tramadol for the arthritis, and benedryl for the allergies (steroids have not worked well this time around). My husband is devastated...... but we've adopted a wait and see approach as I had another dog go through this same thing, recovered and lived for four years after........... however, I'm still not sure I'm doing the right thing by the dog despite the fact he seems in no pain... confused by his inabilities but not in pain........

Yesterday, my pug Mimi on her 12th birthday suddenly woke up am hours with heavy breath and complete disorientation, eyes were darting all over, head/body tilted and inability to stand. ER vet visit revealed that they suspect Vestibular Disease. She has had a long history of ear infections and currently has a mild infection. Veterinarian suggested to wait and see if it clears up with treatment of the ear infection. She has drastically improved on her own within a few hours, I'm too concerned to just wait to see if it does not occur again. My sisters 13yr old pug recently and suddenly passed away with symptoms almost exactly the same. Going to see a specialist and possibility a neurologist as well.
This article has been tremendously helpful and so have the numerous posts of animal companions.

Our 8-yr-old Beagle, Dudley, experienced a stroke-like episode 2 wks ago. We suspected it was a resurfacing of degenerative disc -- a condition for which he was diagnosed and then underwent surgery for at the Veterinary Teaching Hospital, MSU, in 2010. We were pretty sure it was his time to go, but then our vet suggested we hold off, as she suspected peripheral vestibular disease. She is currently treating him with dexameth., IM every other day, and also treated him with antibiotic ear drops, which seemed to do wonders for his ears. As of today, he has the same symptoms, but a dramatic decrease. There's always a chance, too, with his history that this is central vestibular disease. We're keeping our fingers crossed and saying our prayers that he improves and doesn't relapse. He's such a good dog, and we love him. Thanks for the informative article, Dr. Cox. It re-inforces what our vet (another MSU VTH Grad...we call her Dr. Sparty...)is telling us.

I am currently going through this with my 12 yo Doodle (Dox/Poodle). She didn't start vomittiing right away but now she can't keep water down. Symptoms started about 18 hours ago, vomitting about 15 hours ago. She seems to be very thirsty. The emergency vet started her on meclazine. Any suggestions?

Hi .. I'm not sure if you are still receiving comments on this. We just got back from the ER with our 12 year old dog tonight with this diagnosis, vestibular disease. We've had her since her rescue from an abandoned apartment at 3 months old. For the last 3 years she's been prone to ear infections but nothing this severe and the ER vet explained this was an inner ear thing. Her back legs bottomed out, she was shaking, vomiting and unable to stand. She's 60 pounds and a Chow mix so at times, a little hard to handle but I'm so glad she let me pick her up and get her in the car. It's something how adrenaline gives you that superpower strength when you need it! She's was given a shot of antibiotics and a shot for the nausea. She'll be on a 2 week course of Baytril, Cerenia for nausea and Meclizine for dizziness. She's sleeping now but favoring her right side, tilting her head. She drank a lot of water since coming home which I'm hoping is a good sign. It was suggested we wrap a towel underneath her as a hammock to help her get around which is actually what I needed to do to get her out of the car tonight.
She has an aggressive temperament and I had to muzzle her before going into the ER. It breaks my heart doing that but I know it's for everyone's best interest including hers. Thankfully though she let the ER vet and techs do what needed to be done and allowed the tech to carry her out to the car afterwards. It's hard taking her to the vet without sedating her and at her age, we're reluctant to do that and many a vet in the area is reluctant to take us on as clients. We've been through 4 I think. Sigh.
Any other advice as to what we should do aside from the meds and keeping her indoors and off steps would be greatly appreciated!

We have a 17 yr old Shiba Inu whose episode started at 9:30am yesterday morning. We were certain that this was the end until we read your article. We were dreading the trip to the vet as we were certain they would tell us to euthanize him due to his age. We are going to wait and see if his symptons get better as he will take water if you drip it into his mouth, but is unable to get up to eat, drink or go to the bathroom. We are keeping him calm and warm and making sure he knows we are with him. He is deaf, so we are stroking his side and neck. After doing some research, we realized that he is not in pain, he's not whining or yelping, which relieves us, but is there certain cases where they never recover?

Thank you for this great information, very informative! I am with a rescue that takes many older dogs. We have experienced this condition with several dogs over the years, the latest being an older cattle dog mix who just started showing symptoms last night which is how I found your post. She will be going to the vet this morning, but this information helped put my mind at ease, no matter how many times I see Vestibular Disease, it is always scary. I shared this post on our rescue's Facebook page, it is great information for all dog parents and I always hope it will help someone decide to give a dog the benefit of the doubt and some time before deciding to euthanize. Thank you!

As a retired medical doctor who has fostered about 70 dogs in the last 25 years, about 1/3 of whom were seniors, I was surprised to not see a mention of vertical or rotary nystagmus as diagnostic signs. The first old dog of mine who developed Ideopathic Vestibular disease was a 15 year old 80 LB lab-golden mix named Sadie. Sadie suddenly fell over in the yard and looked like she was having seizures. I noticed her nystagmus but did not know at the time it was a diagnostic sign. I rushed Sadie to the vet and he diagnosed the vestibular disease. It took over a month to resolve. Anti-nausea meds and massage helped her maintain her composure and appetite long enough to recover.
Since Sadie developed it, I've had 4 other elderly dogs develop this. I've had 9 dogs live to be 15 or older. Most were fosters who never found homes. This is less of a problem now, but I started living with 4-8 dogs at a time in the late 1980's. Mandatory spay/neuter and rescue have made a huge positive benefit.
4 more old dogs living with me have developed this disease. About 1 out of 3 of the elderly dogs who have lived with me have developed this, usually only a mild case. The nystagmus can be hard to catch as it is sometimes quite transient. For two of my dogs, only I saw the nystgmus; it was never present when the VMD examined my pups.
One thing I have noticed in human medicine over the last 40 years is that doctors are becoming less proficient in physical examinations. There is so much more scientific information to learn and the time with each patient has been drastically reduced by through the monopoly practices of the for-profit insurance companies. (Insurance is the only industry specifically exempted from federal anti-trust laws. This occurred in 1946 with the McCarran Ferguson Act.)
I am wondering if the same thing is happening with veterinarians--do they have less time and are they becoming less proficient with physical exams?

Our 11 year Shar-pei has been experiencing some of the same issues. She has no balance, walks/leans to her left, and isnt really controlling her bathroom duties. We took her to the vet and he gave her a shot for nausea because she had vomitted some and wanted her to start eating. She did eat some but now two days later she is once again walking funny, running into stuff and acting very weird. We are going to take her back to the vet in a few hours, hopefully it is something like this and not a tumor but you never know.

I have a 13 yr. old flat coated retriever, she was diagnosed 2 wks ago with vestibular disease, we were back a the vet's a couple of days ago & she is now on antibiotics, but they did a thorough ear cleaning & she has gotten much worse. She can barley walk & keeps looking at me with the saddest eyes & I can't seem to help her. We go back on Wednesday & the vet had said that this was the last resort with the antibiotics. This is breaking my heart, I don't think have any options left to help her.

I have a cocker spaniel that I got in the year 2000 and have never really had any problems with her health until about two weeks ago when she got very sick throwing up badly and diarrhea.. She got better after two days but now tilts her head to right side and almost seems like she is wondering around... It breaks my heart to see her like this I got her when I was 10 and is the only dog I have had my whole life.. I don't really have the money to take her to the vet so here I am asking for your opinion.. If it is serious I will do or sell whatever I have to to take her to the vet and get the right treatment... please help :(

My 16 years old pekingese had been diagnosed with peripheral vestibular disorder 4 days ago. At first we were devastated because we were sure that he had a stroke due to his old age. He was completely unable to move, his had tilted to his left extremly, his eyes kept moving up and down uncontrolablly, he vomited for several times. His vet kept him under IV, antibiotics, steroids and vitamins for 3 days and yesterday we were allowed to take him home. Appart from vestibular disorder he is perfectly healthy dog, all his organs are functioning perfectly, the vet did a full diagnostics and a blood work. He is still unable to walk or even stand and we have to feed him ang give him water with a syringe. He slleps most of the time, but when he is awake he gets very frustrated with his innability to move. It is extremly hard and stressfull to see your best friend in this condition but we hope for the best.

Hi. My dog was diagnosed 2 days ago with this. She's an 11 yr old corgi mix. The vet clinic sent her home on prednisone. She has about 7 days left with her meds. I saw major improvement the day I picked her up and was about the same yesterday. Late last night, I knew something wasn't right. Her eyes were all glossed over and she was staring off into space. She was having more trouble with her legs. After putting her in her bed about 10 mins later she had an episode. Just like the night i took her to the clinic.She laid there and went to sleep after she was able to relax, but she had 2 more episodes over night. 3am and 530am. She doesn't seem to want to lay down. I have to lay her down so she doesn't fall over sideways. Her head goes back and get stiff. One of her front legs gets drawn up towards her face and her back legs are really stiff. After about 5 mins or so she will start panting and she feels hot. Shell get right back up and try to walk around and immediately after an episode she does not walk well at all. Does anyone elses pet show these signs? Almost like a seizure? I was wondering if anyone else has tried using natural remedies and how they work. She needs something to help her relax. I was also wondering if anyone else has medication they give their pets to prevent such episodes? Or should I just give it time? Its so heartbreaking to watch her like this and I feel like there is absolutely nothing I can do for her.I'm not getting really good info from any other forum/sites.Thanks a Bunch!Reading everyones posts have given me a lot of hope :)

Our dog was diagnosed with this disease on Saturday due to an episode that looked to us like a seizure. An antibiotic injection was given along with cortizone as well as a perscription for valium. After 72 hours there has been little progress. Mag is a 12 year old lab. She is still very alert and happy, but will not attempt to get up. She did raise the top half of her body to greet her dad and barked at the pup yesterday. Could a longer use of an antibiotic be of help?

My 5 yr old King Charles calvelier spaniel, Abbey, has been in good health. However approx 3 mos ago she had several, what I characterized as some type of seizure. She 1st looked like she had something wrong with her front paw and it proceeded to a clumsy collapse, medium shaking and then came out of it after a few minutes but then panted heavily. I couldn't find anything wrong with her after she recovered. Later that day or maybe the next, she was playing ball with us and she was having a great time. She went into the house for some water and then came back out looking for me with a scared look on her face and started with the paw and then started stumbling towards me. It was weird the way it starts with a paw and then other limbs become involved. I would try to comfort her and then she was ok. But she sat next to me the rest of the day. Then the next day, she was laying next to me while I was reading and she started to get up and the same type of process occurred. It is very scary. I try to remain calm and comfort her but I feel helpless.
I contacted the breeder and we reviewed genetic type problems common with the breed and decided none of them fit. We took her to the vet. The vet thought she looked fine but did a blood work up which all came back normal. The vet offered anti-seizure Meds but we decided to wait and see.
Then every thing seemed normal for a couple of months. My husband found some website which mentioned putting an ice pack on the upper vertebrae during a seizure to help minimize and shorten the duration.
A few days ago, she started with the same type symptoms. We tried the ice back with a towel and thought it helped. Last night she woke up while we were sleeping. I thought she might need to go potty. As I was sitting up, she was kind of stumbling on the bed and before I could reach her, she fell off the bed. I proceeded to take her out and sat her on the grass. She looked ok for a moment and then started stumbling and kind of sat/fell. I picked her up and brought her in the house and comforted her with the ice. The episode lasts for only a couple of minutes but then she pants heavily and wants to lick. She will lick me, furniture or comforter. Then she will go back to sleep. BUT, later last night I heard her nails taping the wood floor in the living room. I didn't hear her jump off the bed. I listened and noted it was not her normal gait. I jumped up and found her having another clumsy/drunken sailor episode. I again comforted her, but she didn't seem to want the ice on her back. We both slept in this morning.
Later today she had another episode.
It amazes me how she can seem so normal and the next minute she has this episode that only lasts a couple of minutes.
She doesn't appear to be in any pain during the episode, but she looks scared and wants me. She does her best to find me when she has one of these episodes.
I'm not sure what the problem is. All Meds have side affects so I have avoided them so far, but things have gotten bad the past few days. Again she is otherwise in good health, perfect weight, no people food with loving family. I'm sorry to ramble but haven't really found the info I need. This blog was the closest and i don't think this is it either.
I would greatly appreciate and input. Many thanks in advance!

Submitted by Eric Anderson | December 20 2013 | Permalink
Sounds a lot like Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo in humans. Basically "Rocks in your head". Restated: calcium deposits in the inner ear (vestibule) break loose and enter one of the semi-circular canals. It brushes against the cilia, causing the brain to think you're spinning in that direction. The rapid eye movement is an involuntary reflex to this perceived movement.
Treatment (in humans) involves determining which semi-circular canal has the rock. The direction of the eye movement tells which. The eye movement will be one of: Left to right, right to left, lower left to upper right, lower right to upper left, or down to up.
Treatment is: resting on a table with the head hanging back. Rotate left or right according to the canal established, and allowing the rock to exit the canal back into the vestibule, where it does not affect balance. This is temporary to permanent.
If you bend over too far, you could get the rocks back into the canals and have to re-treat.
Or, it could be a brain tumor.

Career Profile: Jean Bahr
Jean Bahr. Photo courtesy of Jean Bahr.
University of Wisconsin - Madison
UW-Madison is a public research university.
Jean Bahr
is one of the leaders of the 2007 Preparing for an Academic Career in the Geosciences Workshop. Prior to the workshop, we asked each of the leaders to describe their careers, for the benefit of workshop participants, by answering the questions below.
Click on a topic to read Jean Bahr's answer to an individual question, or scroll down to read the entire profile: Educational background and career path * Current job responsibilities * Best part of the job * Challenges and strategies * Qualifications * Balancing work and life * Advice
Briefly describe your educational background and career path.
- B.A. Geology Yale University 1976
- 4 years of geotechnical/hydrogeologic consulting prior to entering graduate school, including 2 years based in Mali, West Africa
- M.S. 1985 and Ph.D. 1987 Applied Earth Sciences (Hydrogeology), Stanford University
- 1987 to present faculty member at the University of Wisconsin - Madison, currently Professor and Chair of the Department of Geology and Geophysics
Briefly describe your current job responsibilities, perhaps by describing a typical day, week, or semester.
As a department chair, I find myself juggling even more responsibilities than I did as a regular faculty member. There is really no typical day or week. Over the course of the semester I spend varying amounts of time dealing with department issues of faculty and staff recruiting and retention, budgets, graduate student issues, fundraising with alumni and our foundation, and administrative duties required by my college and university. All of this involves many formal and informal meetings, email traffic and written reports. I also teach one class per semester, this year shared with a colleague, so I have lecture and exam preparation, grading, and interactions with students. I am supervising 4 graduate students and spend varying amounts of time with them discussing their research, reviewing drafts of thesis chapters, and occasionally (the most fun) doing a bit of field work. I'm also involved in two other programs on campus: a geological engineering program and a graduate program in Water Resources Management and attend faculty meetings and serve on committees such as undergraduate curriculum and graduate admissions for those programs. Finally, I have been involved for a number of years, and formerly was faculty director, of a residential program for undergraduate women in science and engineering. Last fall I attended a weekly evening dinner/seminar with students in that program and also took them on a weekend camping trip.
What do you like best about your work?
Interacting with students is probably the most satisfying part of my job.
What is the most challenging aspect of your work? What strategies have you developed for tackling that challenge?
Interacting with difficult colleagues and dealing with tight state budgets are the greatest challenges. In the former case, lots of patience and a supportive group of other department chairs with whom I can share stories have been very helpful. Fundraising with alumni to meet our needs outside of the state budget, particularly for field trip support, is one strategy that mitigates some of the budget challenges.
What qualifications do you think made you competitive in your job search(es)?
My first job out of college was with a firm that I had interned with during the summer after my sophomore year in college. That internship was something I found through a lot of pavement pounding. I had two other summer internships during college that were facilitated by faculty.
In the job search that brought me to Madison, I was actively recruited to apply based on my record at Stanford and visibility of some presentations I gave at national meetings. This was also at a time when there were relatively few departments in the US with hydrogeology faculty and the visibility of hydrogeology was on the rise due to increased concerns about groundwater contamination.
Many of the graduate students and post-doctoral fellows in these workshops are interested in balancing a family and career, in dual career couple issues, and in how other personal choices affect the search for a fulfilling career. Please share information about your situation, your ideas and experiences.
I am single and have no children. This is partly by choice, but also a function of the demands of the tenure track (or my perceptions of the demands), which made it difficult for me to find a healthy balance between my career and personal life during the period that I might have been able to have children if I wanted them. My observation is that in the last 2 decades academic institutions have become more accommodating to junior faculty who are part of a dual career couple and to women whose biological clock and tenure clock are ticking at the same time.
What advice do you have for graduate students or post-docs preparing for academic careers in geoscience? What do you know now that you wish you had known as you started your career?
Any academic job is a juggling act of research, teaching, and administrative/service duties. However, the balance among these and how the various components of the job are valued by your colleagues and your institution vary significantly as a function of the type of institution. It is important to identify the type of balance that is a good fit to your interests and talents.
I wish I had known more about negotiating when I started my career.

Harker Pottery Company of East Liverpool, Ohio, was incorporated in 1890 in East Liverpool, Ohio. The Harker family had been making pottery in the area since 1840. The company made many types of pottery but by the Civil War was making quantities of yellowware from native clays. It also made Rockingham-type brown-glazed pottery and whiteware. The plant was moved to Chester, West Virginia, in 1931. Harker made serving pieces of the Autumn Leaf line made famous by Hall China Company and produced dinnerware designed by Russel Wright. Dinnerwares were made and sold nationally. In 1971 the company was sold to Jeannette Glass Company and all operations ceased in 1972.

Hey guys, you didn't fail me last time, let's try this again.
1: cos(2X)=cos^4(X)-sin^4(X)
All I've really done on this one is that I factored the ___^4 things, but that didn't really help all that much. Could there possibly be a cos-sin formula involved?
2: csc(2X)-cot(2X) = tan(X)
For this, I did the (hopefully correct) next step of:
((2X)/sin(2x))-((cos(2X)/(sin(2X)) = tan(x)
then I tried this...
Is this correct? I'm stuck. please help!

Dear participants,
We're all on a spaceship together.
But there is one problem, the spaceship is breaking down.
At the moment there is still room for 32 participants including myself.
But soon we'll have get rid of 16 participants.
And I'm afraid, shortly afterwards half of the participants will be forced to jump out again.
Eventually only one of us will arrive safely at his/her beautiful house in Scotland.
The others... will die.
Any questions? Feel free to post here or pm me.

The lo now show army trunk has a unique design with its 7.5" rise and Mobilon rubber in the thigh.
This rubber, which does not crack nor wear out, gives additional support around the thigh to prevent the boxer creeping up your leg.

An additional feature is the patented C-IN2 sling support. Dubbed the "push-up bra for men," the sling support is made from adjustable elastic and gives the wearer extra profile and extra confidence. Simple instructions are included on the box.

Enhancements to VoIP Software Ekiga 3.0
Ekiga, formerly known as GnomeMeeting, is an open source VoIP application with video support. The Ekiga project has recently incorporated major enhancements into its version 3.0 software.
Ekiga's new graphical user interface includes a buddy list and an accelerated video display, thanks to DirectDraw and XVideo. A new connection quality meter was built into the status bar.
Extended status information in the buddy list displays network neighbors. The new address book supports Evolution and LDAP contacts and the URL bar autocompletes known addresses. The Ekiga Call Out account allows sending of text messages over SMS. Hotplug support provides quick audio and video device plugins while being in a call.
Ekiga 3.0 supports various codecs, including H.263+, H.264, Theora and MPEG4. The software achieves a framerate up to 30 frames per second and resolution is up to 704x576 pixels in DVD quality. The audio and video codecs are plugins for flexibility. Unique among Open Source developers, Ekiga provides a SIP capabilities exchange for codecs.
Because Ekiga supports the SIP protocol, it can serve as a front end for an Asterisk application and automatically recognizes network and LAN cards. Ekiga automatically logs the user off the SIP account with an inactive interface, and re-registers when traffic resumes. NAT traversal was also improved: according to the Ekiga wiki, in 99 percent of the cases, as with Skype, the user should not use port forwarding for calls; Ekiga puts the device on STUN to avoid problems with firewalls and NAT.
What about other services? Ekiga users can also make platform-independent calls, such as with Windows Messenger 5.1 or NetMeeting. Mac users can videoconference with Linux users over X-Lite 3.0 and XMeeting. However, Ekiga users cannot currently talk with MSN, Skype or Google Talk clients because of the proprietary nature of their software. Service with other clients, such as Wengophone, is audio only. An Ekiga interoperability chart shows the full client compatibility.
